What riders say about winter riding coats and vests
Riders write about hem length, layering and how a coat holds up in wet weather; here is what they said.
When it was cold, the jacket’s cut was generous enough to allow for layers yet still form fitting. I don’t care if you’re in Wellington or lost on the steppe, nobody wants to look like they’re riding around in a garbage bag!
Here’s the thing, the best part is the two-way zipper. I unzip the lower part while I’m riding so there’s no scratching my saddle with the zipper pull at the bottom. It also prevents any “bunching up” of my vest while riding. It hangs sleek and smooth on my silhouette. It’s just the right amount of fill: not too thick, so I don’t get too hot when I’m riding. It also layers well.
I’m a traveling horse trainer that rides year-round outdoors. I needed a coat that worked for both English and Western saddles in the frigid northwestern winters. I love the zipper in the back for more room and the waist drawstrings. Thinking of getting the teal one as well. I’m 5’5”, 130lbs and got the size 8 so I had room to layer.
This has been my barn coat for seriously the past 3 years. And I barn hard!! I muck, I ride, I groom, I feed, I do everything!
The Winter Coat Edit
Cold-weather riding layers that move with you in the saddle
Long coats, short jackets, vests and waterproof layers, each with a shelf to browse. Start with hem length, then choose the layer that suits your day.
Long coats
Long riding coats: cover for the saddle and the barn aisle
B Vertigo's Women's Gem Waxed Padded Long Coat covers you from saddle to barn aisle: B Vertigo lists it as a full-length winter coat with a riding zipper at the back middle, a two-way zipper, a removable hood and zipper pockets. The maker gives the waxed shell a 3000mm waterproof and 3000mvp breathability rating, so read the product page and compare that spec with other long coats. Mountain Horse's Women's Alicia Coat is cut long to mid-calf with a riding slit in the rear, and Mountain Horse lists it as windproof, waterproof and breathable.
Long coats suit riders who spend time standing at the ring, teaching or handling horses in the aisle, because the hem covers your thighs. Look elsewhere if you want the least fabric around your legs in the saddle; the short jackets and vests below stay out of the way. The women's outerwear page covers the wider women's range.

What Riders Say
Mountain Horse Women's Alicia Coat - Black
This coat really delivered in some recent temps in the teens with biting wind chills. It kept me warm while still able to move easily doing barn chores. I love the length and that you can ride in it. Tough outer shell with warm comfy lining.
Very warm, excellent quality. Long enough to keep your butt warm! I bought one for my daughter a year ago and borrowed hers so much, I bought myself one too. Love it!
I wasn’t quite sure how the leg straps would feel, but I’m found them to not really be noticeable when fastened, even when I’m walking around. But where they really make a difference is in the saddle, when they do a great job holding the coat in place over my legs.
When I pull it on to go riding, the bottom hem of the coat comes to the top of my tall boots (as a point of reference, I’m about 5’9″).

Short jackets
Short riding jackets: easy reach and a clean seat line
Mountain Horse's Women's Sally Jacket keeps the hem short and the cut fitted for riding and yard work: Mountain Horse lists it as a lightweight, insulated puffer with a fold-away hood, quilt lines and zip pockets. The riders quoted below wore it for yard duties, hacking and errands in the same day. A short hem keeps fabric off the saddle and leaves your seat clear.
Mountain Horse describes its jackets as riding coats first, and many have riding slits at the back or sides so the jacket opens over the saddle. Look elsewhere if you want a hem that covers your thighs while you stand around; the long coats above do that. The Mountain Horse winter jackets filter shows the rest of the line.

What Riders Say
Mountain Horse Women's Sally Jacket - Black
From yard duties and hacking three horses a day right through to trips to the supermarket and a music festival, this jacket is super stylish. I’ve even worn it to the office on occasion!
Mountain Horse Women's Sally Jacket - Black
One of my favourite things about this jacket is that it has cuffed sleeves. Not only do these keep your arms totally warm, but it means nothing can creep down the sleeve either. We all know that feeling of damp arms and soggy sleeves when carrying water buckets. Well, it isn’t a concern while wearing the Mountain Horse Sally Jacket. The cuffed sleeves also keep hay and straw out, which means my car and flat need vacuuming much less often. It gets an extra star for that!

Don’t be fooled by the lack of padding in this jacket – it has kept me really warm on some cold and windy days. It’s also been used in very heavy rain and I’ve stayed dry. This jacket doesn’t have a hood, but it does have a very high collar that you can pull up to keep out the wind and wet when you’re riding.
Horze Women's Isabella 3-in-1 Jacket - Black
I really like the jacket. I wore it at temperatures from 40-52f so far and was fine with just the inside layer while moving around in barn. It neither makes you break out in sweat nor did I ever get too chilly in it at those temperatures. I love the lightweight of it and that the cuffs are nicely tight yet stretchy, so nothing is flapping around while grooming horse or handling dirty stuff. The material of the inner layer is so smooth and dense, that you can wipe off dirt easily with a damp paper towel. The outer layer I didn't need yet, but it's nice to have it in the car, so when you go shopping or elsewhere after barn you can change to a clean, pretty chic coat. Sizing - I'm 5.5ft, 132lb and bought a US 8 (EU 38) which is still roomy enough to wear a thick hoody underneath. If in doubt, rather downsize.

Vests
Riding vests that add a layer without limiting your arms
Horze's Women's Classic Quilted Vest gives you a layer without sleeves: Horze lists it as a quilted riding vest with a diamond pattern, a two-way front zipper and an adjustable back, and as breathable, water repellent and windproof. One buyer calls it the perfect vest and another is on her third. Shires Aubrion's React Insulated Gilet is another vest to compare.
Pair a vest with a long-sleeve base layer and keep your arms free for the reins. Look elsewhere if you need sleeves; a short jacket is the better fit. The Horze winter coats and vests filter shows more from the same maker.

Horze Women's Classic Quilted Vest - Peacoat Dark Blue
Perfect fit, and perfectly easy on / off, lightweight with a bit of warmth. Truly the PERFECT vest. So....WHY WHY WHY not make it other classic colors???? Forest green, dark brown, khaki, burgundy, light blue, olive green........ YOU KNOW...... The classics. I'd buy every color. I already have bought the 2 colors you make!!!
This is my third purchase of the Horze quilted vest. I love this vest! I wish they made it in more colors.
I love this vest. It’s lightweight and fits my phone. I wear this while at the ranch and even when I’m doing non-horse-related errands. It fits well.
This thin vest somehow manages to be quite warm when needed and not too hot when it’s warm. I’ve worn it in 35 degree temps (with layered jackets on top) up to 70 degree temps with comfort. Yes, I was riding that day it was 70 degrees, and I didn’t feel overheated at all.

Kids' coats
Kids' winter riding coats and vests for lessons and chores
Kerrits' Kids' Ride The Wind Reversible Quilted Vest gives a young rider one vest that wears two ways: Kerrits lists a print side and a solid side, 100g poly-loft fill, inseam pockets and a longer back hem for coverage in the saddle. Shires Aubrion also makes a kids' React Thermal Waterproof Coat for wet days.
Kids' sizes vary by maker, so use Find Your Fit above and the size chart where one is shown. Look elsewhere if a teenager rides in adult sizes; the women's and men's sections cover those. The Kerrits winter coats and vests filter shows more from Kerrits.

Waterproof layers
Waterproof riding coats for wet days between the cold ones
Horze's Women's Hazel Long Raincoat is built for wet days in the saddle: Horze lists it as an extra-long PU raincoat with side slits that close with press buttons, leg straps inside to hold the hem, a removable hood and reflective stripes at the hood and hem. Shires Aubrion's React Thermal Waterproof Coat is listed by the maker as waterproof to 10,000mm and breathable to 6000g/m2, with a two-way zipper and a removable hood.
Waterproof means the maker designed the fabric to keep water out; water-resistant only sheds light rain, so check the maker's rating on each product page. Look elsewhere if you want a breathable layer for hard work on dry days; a short jacket or vest suits that better. The Shires Aubrion winter coats filter shows more rain-ready pieces.

What Riders Say
I wasn’t convinced by the feel of the fabric that it was waterproof, but I’ve worn it in some awful weather and it’s kept me warm and dry, even in prolonged, heavy rain. It has the look of a down-filled jacket but is in fact filled with an eco-friendly DuPont ‘synthetix’ filling that’s a lot easier to care for, and it really keeps you snug even when the temperature is below freezing. The jacket has been washed several times and still looks great.
Not only does it keep me warm enough, I also like that the sealed seams keep me dry in wet weather conditions. The jacket has worn well for me around tough barn conditions. I’m also pleased with the visual appeal of the Annabelle jacket. An embroidered Dublin logo graces the front chest, while the Dublin brand can be spotted on the back under the hood zipper. I can’t miss mentioning how the hood keeps my ears warm while mucking!

Questions riders ask
Winter Riding Coats & Vests FAQ
What makes a riding coat different from a regular winter coat?
Riding coats are cut for the saddle. Many have a two-way front zip, a rear slit or vent, or leg straps, and a hem that sits right when you are mounted, where a regular winter coat can bunch or ride up when you sit. Open a few product pages and compare which of these features each coat lists before you choose.
Is a softshell enough, or do I need an insulated jacket?
A softshell suits active riding in cool weather, while a padded jacket or parka suits standing at the ring or doing chores. Alessandro Albanese lists its Respira Jacket as a windproof softshell with bonded fleece, and B Vertigo lists its Garren as a warmly padded parka. Compare those two product pages and pick by how much you ride versus stand.
What's the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?
Waterproof means the maker designed the fabric to keep water out under set conditions; water-resistant only slows light rain. Makers state ratings differently: Shires Aubrion lists its React Thermal Waterproof Coat as waterproof to 10,000mm. Read the rating on each product page and match it to the weather you ride in.
How do I find my size in a riding coat?
Use Find Your Fit above to match your size, and check the size chart where one is shown. Sizing varies by maker, so measure your chest and sleeve length and compare them with the chart. Some makers cut to European sizing, so read the size note on the product page before you order.
